There’s been updates to the alleged sexual harassment allegations lobbed at idol-actor Onew from the boy group SHINee, some conflicting statements but so far nothing fully incriminating or exonerating. Onew was reported to the police by a woman at a club who claimed he touched her inappropriately, with Onew’s agency SM Entertainment admitting the touching happened but claimed he was … Continue reading →
The reel to real romances in K-ent typically are about fan shipping dreams from a K-drama fictional romance coming true in real life.

But real life is not a K-drama … Continue reading →
Congrats to the first K-actress expectant mommy of 2017 to drop her bundle of joy.

The lack of a new or current acting project for K-actress Song Hye Kyo, and her impending marriage to former drama costar and now fiancee Song Joong Ki, makes the K-media have little to report on her other than the latest on dits. It’s benign and not terribly banal since she’s been in the industry for two decades since her … Continue reading →
Love is memorialized in a celebrity couples pictorial for newlywed acting couple Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee, a rite of passage for all Korean star couples when both are famous. It’s likely just a coincidence that the couple made their first major appearance together last week at a fashion brand store event and now this pictorial lands in … Continue reading →
Ji Chang Wook continues to be super charming as he winds down the last days before enlisting in the military for his mandatory service. This weekend he posted pictures of himself with buzz cut shaved head, and I’m sure it feels way weird to suddenly have all this lightness on top not to mention the cool breeze. He actually looks … Continue reading →
Hoo boy, this is so not the news update I wanted to hear on an idol-actor that I’m actually aware of who he is. Onew of the boy group SHINee has been accused of sexual harassment and the case is currently pending police investigation.

Daddyhood suits TW-actor Mike He, as does a perfectly tailored suit and posing for the cameras. He’s always been the charming type with a slight veneer of smarm that never crosses over the line, like the too cool boyfriend who is self-aware but toes the line on being too full of himself. Earlier this year Mike announced that he was … Continue reading →
Another expectant K-actress joins the baby watching queue, which at this point is basically going to pop out a baby a month come this fall. So far there’s Kim Tae Hee, Jeon Ji Hyun, Hwang Jung Eum, So Yi Hyun, Jo Yoon Hee, Lee Shi Young, and I’m sure there is a few I’ve left off. This beautifully expectant group is now … Continue reading →
Trying to figure out if idol-actress Suzy has short or long hair in real life currently is taking on a sleuthing mind of its own. First it looked like she cut it off way short for her role in SBS drama While You Were Sleeping, then she was seen in CFs and at events with her usual long lustrous locks … Continue reading →
I really think the Chinese audience would be as turned off by the wholesale idea copying of popular K-ent variety shows if they knew the backstory of where the current popular C-versions are from.
